I’m not a Mechanic, only a D.I.Y.’er, so sorry, I cannot answer any of your technical questions. But, ‘If you’ve seen this one, then you can definitely do one …’ and the video will speak for itself.
Total work hours is about one weekend day. More or less about 3-4 hrs. continuous work excluding the video taking, video editing and break times.
Some scenes in this video were re-arranged to show or emphasize a procedure that I should have followed to make the job easier and faster.
A word of caution!!! Some parts of the video are shaky and may cause dizziness to some people.

bump my right camshaft wheel while replacing new timing belt. can I rotate it back to timing mark? Crank is at TDC. Right Camshaft is on timing mark.
My crankshaft mark is off a tooth but both camshaft marks line up with TDC. Question, with belt removed can I just rotate the crankshaft a tooth clockwise to realign with the with the TDC mark
Nice informative video. I'd just like to ad my take on this job . The grenade pin will not spin freely if the tensioner gap was 5.9mm because the plunger would come out a bit however with a range between 4.8 and 6mm the tension would still be within specs even though the pin dosent spin freely anymore at say 5.8mm.
13:06 how am I supposed to do this? The plunger is already extended there is no locking pin and i can’t get the plunger to go down and line the two holes up???
I found tdc on no 1 (left bank front) manually spark plug out with long screwdriver and old cam belt setup sprockets are both bout 4 teeth off clockwise equally from cam engine pointers. Is this usual? Havent checked crank sprocket marks yet as i was winging it, then it got dark, then found your video. Old cam belt still on. Any ideas
Awesome video – thank you – doing this to my 6G75 Mitsubishi in Australia
The first owner of my 2008 endeavor and it has all highway miles at 316,000 the only thing I replaced was the timing belt and radiator.
well, all i can say is thank you. Hopefully this is just like the 07 eclipse/// I think im the only one who takes 3 hours to watch a 30 minute video… Thank you soooo much for actually editing and adding in texts every step. It seems to be way easier then my 1g 4g63 timing i did .. Ill be doing this tomorrow.
I purchased a new timing belt tensioner (Aisin #BTM-500) for 2005 Endeavor. New out of box the pin will turn but not spin easily as you show. Is it defective or should I install it? Thank you, great video!
This video just like the first one that he did four years ago is fantastic.
I just put our Mitsubishi back together and test drove it just now and works great with the new timing belt. Thank you thank you thank you for excellent detail and close up video shots of intricate important parts. Your notes saved the day.
I have to ask, you’re from Minnesota, right? What year is your Endeavor and how many miles?
